There are new search features available to help you find the musicals you're looking for in the database! 

You can now search for musicals by:

• where to watch,
• title,
• composer, 
• where it was filmed - Broadway, West End, regionally, and by country,  
• by representation in the creative team, such as BIPOC, women creatives, languages other than English; and 
• by theme, such as family friendly, LGBTQ, high school, operetta, literature and more! 

For example, you can use the Themes filter to search for "literature" and find filmed live musicals based on books like Daddy Long Legs, The Wind in the Willows, or Candide. Or use the Representation filter to search for "women creatives" and locate musicals written or directed by women such as Shrek, Come From Away, or The SpongeBob Musical. If you're in the mood for some Sondheim, use the Composer search to find all the filmed live Sondheim musicals! Or use the Where to Watch filter to find musicals to watch online like all the musical above! 

The site is not yet a complete list of every filmed live musical ever made, but if you want to help us get closer to that goal, consider becoming a Patron! Just $3 a month gives you early access to site content and the podcast, and you'll be helping to preserve the history of filmed stage musicals, and contribute to the curation of a one easy place to find them all.

Take a look through the database now to find your new favorite musical!
